The information about alleged mobilization of Zelenskyy was published by the press service of the Ministry of Defense on April 13, 2019 in response to requests of members of the Ukrainian Parliament Yulii Mamchur, Oleksandr Bryhynets (both from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentary faction); Tetiana Chornovol and Mykhailo Bondar (both from the People's Front).

In response to the Ukrainian News Agency’s request, the Ministry of Defense confirms that Zelenskyy is registered for military service in Kryvyi Rih (Dnipropetrovsk region).

As a result of examination by a medical board, he is considered to be able-bodied for military service.

"He has not done military service, and was not mobilized for military service in 2014-2015," the reply says.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on April 13, the Ministry of Defense said that Zelenskyy ignored four mobilization notice papers in 2014-2015.
